L'inter-tainer canadien présente son premier album interprété 100% en français! Après plusieurs années d’intense préparation consistant à se nourrir exclusivement de camembert et de littérature française, et en attendant d’être élu à son fauteuil de l’Académie française, l’über-entertainer canadien Chilly Gonzales annonce la sortie de son nouvel album intitulé French Kiss. Pour ce canadien ayant également la nationalité française, cet album est une lettre d’amour à l’hexagone. On y retrouve les lignes de pianos caractéristiques du pianiste à la croisée du jazz, de la pop et du classique, son phrasé unique chanté pour la première fois en 100% français, ainsi que de magnifiques collaborations avec Juliette Armanet, Bonnie Banane, Teki Latex, Arielle Dombasle ou encore Richard Clayderman. Un concept album qui se classe comme l'un des plus abouti de sa carrière.

Some artists like to signal their pretension in a subtle way - James Murphy with his “Hello Steve Reich” remix of David Bowie’s “Love Is Lost”, for example. Others, however, just can’t help themselves. Chilly Gonzales (A.K.A Jason Beck) might be fall into the latter camp. His 2015 album, Chambers, has been in gestation since Solo Piano II, the sequel to the acclaimed - and innovatively named - Solo Piano I. This LP is similarly literally titled, as it is, in essence, a 12-track suite for a chamber ensemble - string quartet and piano, to be precise.
If you know anything about our man Gonzales, though, you'll know that things are never quite what they appear when he's around. All genres are permeable for this man: from the '90s indie-rock stylings of his first project Son to the Manic, and surreal rap of The Entertainist, he's pretty much tried it all…

A Very Chilly Christmas, featuring Feist and Jarvis Cocker. Composer, showman in slippers and a bathrobe, he has a deep dedication to his craft: he’s an Entertainer. His humble service to this calling lends a certain inevitability to this announcement: Chilly Gonzales has made a Christmas album.

The cinematic ambitions of Chilly Gonzales were not previously well known, although very few forms fit his intentions to cycle between solo piano and throwback dance music quite like an original score. (Of course, if he'd tried to fit both piano meditations and funky house on a proper album, the cries of "Unity!" would have gone up immediately from outraged music fans.) Ivory Tower, the soundtrack to an "existentialist sports comedy about chess and success," was apparently recorded before the movie was filmed, so the filming could be arranged around the album; it's true that this sounds more like an album than a soundtrack. The piano lines are simplistic and repetitive, and the rest of the production is sunny, breezy house music the way they made it in New York during the mid-'90s, similar to Gonzales' Soft Power from 2008 - but without the attention-grabbing retro qualities…
